One Thing Without Which Everything Would Fail

A teacher who not knowing her subject well.
A doctor using a different brand of medicine than what he prescribes.
A tailor getting his clothes stitched from some other tailor.
A hotelier not eating food at his own hotel.
A safety equipment manufacturing company without fire-extinguishers.
A coach not practising what he preaches.
A banker who steals money from his customer's accounts.
A traffic cop not following the traffic rules.
A judge falling for a crime.

We keep hearing about such people in the news. Unfortunately, such people do exist in the world that we live in.

But we cannot imagine living a world with teachers, businesses, bureaucrats, emergency service providers and a government consisting of only these people. The whole society would fail.

Without authenticity the whole system would fail. The world is worth living in because of people who say what they do and do what they say.

Thankfully you can make out when people are not authentic.

And people can make out when you are not authentic. 

Who is fooling whom?
